Courtesy of AMA Pro Racing - HAGERSTOWN, Md. (July 6, 2013) -Brad Baker (Dodge Bros Racing/Harley-Davidson) was in a different area code all night during Round 4 of AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles' main event. The Washington product claimed his first career Grand National Expert main event victory under the lights at Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, Md. Baker redefined the term domination tonight as just when you thought his lead couldn't get any bigger, he seemingly increased it almost every lap. Baker's margin of victory was a clean 6.77 seconds over second place finisher Jake Shoemaker (Kawasaki) by the end of the race and his lead was never in jeopardy.

"It feels amazing, I haven't been in the game very long as far as the expert level goes," said Baker. "But it feels like it took forever to get that first win. My motorcycle was absolutely top of the line tonight and I can't thank my team and sponsors enough. It was definitely the most comfortable I've felt on a motorcycle in a long time. I've been so eager to get this first win out of the way for a long time now and it just feels amazing to finally get it."

Baker's main event victory wasn't his only win of the night, as the 20-year-old won the dash for cash for an extra $1,000 payout. You just couldn't help but feel great for the young star as he's been so close to victory all season long but hasn't been able to get over the hump. Tonight he silenced all of the critics that hounded him about getting that first win with an absolute perfect performance on his Harley-Davidson.

Although he was nowhere near in competition with Baker, Jake Shoemaker certainly had an impressive effort tonight as he finished second in his first ever race at the Grand National Expert Twins level. Coming in third behind Shoemaker was Bryan Smith (Crosley Radio/Kawasaki EX650). Smith came all the way back from the eighth slot in the second row to earn his second podium of the year with Doug Lawrence (R&J Racing/Harley-Davidson) and Sammy Halbert (Whites Harley/Harley-Davidson) rounding out the top five.
